Grant writing
Introduction
Dyslexia affects the quality of learning; children with this condition have a hard time learning sounds within a language which thus makes it difficult to learn. Bridging the gap between child achievement and their ability would be an expensive venture due to the nature of the project (Blanco, Maria, and Mary 450). Various stakeholders need to be engaged for the success of the project. The project will involve the development of a platform suitable for the student’s study. The project stakeholders will include the teachers; the teachers ought to be well equipped through training with special skills on how to handle the children. The school has to provide a suitable built-in facility equipped for the training which will also be expensive. Sourcing for the funding would also give another challenge as the financiers might not be aware of the situation and therefore lack a cause.
The financier’s philanthropic aids are always driven by the need in the areas in which they seek to support. The media has become an important tool in convincing organizations to offer financial support to victims of various tragedies. Among the tragedies which might drive the organization or individuals into funding include; natural calamities such as; drought and famine, floods or even earthquakes which leaves the victims helpless and in need of financial aid (Browning and Beverly).
